They were exceptional individuals who devoted their lives to serving and protecting our nation. India will never forget their martyrdom, wrote PM Modi on Twitter.

Meanwhile, CRPF today remembered the first death anniversary of 40 jawans killed in a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district.
